Chapter 195: Hybrids
Qu Weiyang was not at home, so he naturally didn't know what the harvest was at home, and when he heard Zhao Changsheng and a few people say this, he was immediately stunned.
"Brother Zhao, are you saying that my family's bud rice harvest is good?"
"It's not bad, that's great, we helped harvest the land this autumn, and your bud rice is at least 500 catties per acre.
You haven't seen that corn cob, let alone a rarity.
Not only bud rice, but also your beans and sorghum are also good. If you don't believe me, you can ask your younger siblings to come in and ask? ”
Wang Dajiang, a man from the Wang family, said excitedly, turned around and went out from the back room to the kitchen to find Qiaolian.
Qiao Lian was busy in the kitchen, and was suddenly called into the house, looking at everyone in confusion, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? Or do you have any requirements for meals? ”
"Daughter-in-law, just now Brother Wang and Brother Zhao said that our family's harvest this year is very good, and they said that the yield of bud rice is quite high, and they want to buy some seeds from our family, do you see this?"
Qu Weiyang has been in the army, and he doesn't know what the situation is at home, he can't do this thing, and he has to ask Qiaolian.
When Qiao Lian heard this, her heart chuckled, yes, she forgot about this stubble.
Last year, the seeds of the Zhang family were used in the spring, although the yield per mu was not bad, much stronger than that of Shijiagou, and even better than the yield per mu in many places in Daying Township, but it was too far behind Qiaolian's expectations.
You must know that in Qiaolian's previous life, the yield per mu of bud rice was almost 15,600 catties, and the yield of soybeans per mu was also 6 or 700 catties.
This year can be good, the yield of 300 catties per mu of bud rice is already a high yield, where can Qiaolian accept it?
So at the beginning of spring this year, Qiaolian deliberately exchanged all kinds of grain seeds from the system, all of which were high-yielding varieties.
After the autumn harvest, Qiaolian calculated that her family's yield per mu of bud rice can reach 800 catties, and the yield is indeed not high compared with the previous life, but under the premise of not using chemical fertilizers, it is already very good to be able to beat these grains.
It's just that Qiaolian didn't expect that the high grain yield of her family would be discovered by others so easily.
Think about it too, what is food? That's the life of the peasants, isn't the most important thing for the farmers to care about is the grain production?
This autumn, all the big guys came to help harvest the land, and the knowledgeable old farmers could see at a glance how high the crop yield of the Qu family was.
Qiaolian was a little hesitant, she used hybrid seeds, and this thing had to use one generation of seeds every year, which meant that she had to buy seeds every year.
If you keep the second generation of seeds, it is likely that genetic differentiation will occur, resulting in lower yields. At least it will drop by one percent, and more will be one and a half percent.
"Brother Wang, Brother Zhao, the yield of bud rice in my house is not low, and the seeds are indeed different.
I'm here, when I went to the county seat to buy something last winter, I met such a person selling bud rice seeds.
He said that his seed was a newly researched variety, hybrid, with a coarse stalk that was lodging resistant, and a particularly high yield. Qiao Lian thought for a moment before speaking.
"Isn't the most important thing for our farmers to care about is the output? Although the price he asked for was quite high, my family couldn't grow much, so I bought some.
At that time, people told me that hybrid seeds can't be kept by themselves, and if I keep the seeds and plant them again, he will not be responsible for the reduction of yield.
The man said that the second generation of hybrid seeds will reduce the yield by one or a half percent, and they are not as disease-resistant as the first generation of seeds. ”
"A few big brothers, I'm also the first year to plant, and I won't know until next year if it's going to be like what he said, anyway, I looked at that kind of good seed at the time, and I bought it easily.
This year's yields are really good, but I can't guarantee what it will be like next year when the seeds are in the ground, and I have to explain this to you. ”
The yield per mu is seven or eight hundred catties, even if the yield is reduced by one and a half, it can produce five or six hundred catties, and this yield is also very advantageous compared with the old varieties.
However, hybrids degrade very quickly, and it is estimated that after a few years, there will be no yield advantage.
Shizuizi's families are good, and they have helped Qiaolian a lot, since they opened their mouths and said that they wanted seeds, Qiaolian was not good and did not give them.
But what should be said, she must make it clear in advance, analyze the stakes to these people, and complain in the future.
What if the crops are reduced and people scold her for hiding her eyes?
It's not easy to make friends these days, it's too easy to offend people, Qiaolian has experienced too many things, and she has to plan for the worst no matter what.
Seeds can be given, but if you want the seeds to go back and plant them yourself, there is no guarantee in terms of yield, don't come to her again when the yield is not high.
Ugly words are said in front of you, and a lot of trouble can be avoided.
Except for Qu Weiyang, all of them were experienced old farmers, and the big guy was also quickly settling accounts in his heart.
The output of Qujia's bud rice is above 500 catties, and according to the most serious situation Qiaolian said, the yield will be reduced by one and a half, and it can also produce more than 400 catties of grain, which is much more cost-effective than the bud rice they planted.
"Brother and sister, we can see that you are doing this for our good, and I am afraid that we will not harvest well with new seeds.
In this way, you sell us some seeds, and when the time comes, we will plant them separately, plant one acre of our own original seeds, and then plant another acre of this.
When the time comes, don't you know which one is better? Right? Wang Dajiang felt that even if the yield was reduced, it would be appropriate, so he insisted on buying seeds.
Other people also thought it was feasible to make such a calculation in their hearts, so they all said that they wanted seeds, and even the Zhang Wenguang brothers were a little excited at this time.
The significance of high grain production is too great, who doesn't want to be busy with more grain in the autumn?
However, the two brothers did not speak, with the relationship between the Zhang family and the Qu family, there is no need to mix with these people.
"Daughter-in-law, food is our lifeblood, since the big guys have said so, even if the production is reduced in the future, it will not be on your head.
Why don't you just say yes, this can be regarded as a help to the big guy, isn't it? ”
Qu Weiyang also spoke at this time, but he was ostensibly persuading Qiaolian to agree, but in fact, he was helping Qiaolian clear her responsibility.
It is to tell these people that once there is a reduction in production, don't come back to Qiaolian, I have told you in advance, and you are willing.
Zhao Changsheng and the others are not fools, how can they not hear the meaning of Qu Weiyang's words?
"Yes, yes, it's already interesting for my brother and sister to give us seeds, and there are so many reasons for this grain harvest, how can we all rely on the seeds?
Besides, my brother and sister have made the stakes clear to us, we are not little babies, we can understand, don't worry, my brother and sister will not come to you for trouble. ”
Zhao Changsheng expressed his attitude, and everyone else also said that no matter how much bud rice was produced, they were all grateful to Qiaolian and would not come to trouble Qiaolian.
Things have come to this point, and Qiao Lian can't refuse anymore, so she can only nod.
"Fortunately, my family was too busy before, and the bud rice has not been finished yet, so a few big brothers will choose the bud rice sticks by themselves later, take it back and pick it up by yourself, I just save some time."
As for the money, forget about it, don't mention the money. ”
